Here are the specific impacts of a broken engine belt: 1. Abnormal operation: It can cause the engine valves and ignition system to malfunction, preventing the timing transmission from delivering power, and the engine may suddenly stall and coast. 2. Valve closure issues: The pistons will continue to move up and down due to inertia, while the opening and closing of the valves have stopped. In the confined space of the combustion chamber, the pistons may collide with the valves, bending the valve pushrods, denting the piston tops, or even punching holes in the cylinder head. 3. Engine failure: In severe cases, this can lead to the engine being irreparably damaged and rendered unusable.

Why does the clutch pedal not return after being pressed down?

There are several reasons why the clutch pedal of a car may not return after being pressed down: 1. Air has entered the clutch hydraulic system, causing excessive clutch travel and poor return. This issue can be self-diagnosed—if the clutch pedal only rises after being repeatedly pressed, it is usually due to air in the hydraulic system. In such cases, the cause of the air ingress should be identified and repaired as soon as possible. 2. The clutch fluid is dirty or contains impurities, leading to severe wear of the clutch master cylinder (piston) or clogged return ports, preventing the clutch from returning. 3. As the vehicle's mileage increases, the clutch return spring may lose tension or break, causing the clutch pedal to not return. 4. Excessive wear of the clutch linkage push rod creates too much clearance, resulting in poor return.

What are the reasons why the car key cannot start the ignition?

The reasons why the car key cannot start the ignition are: 1. Nearby interference: Car remote keys transmit signals in the form of radio waves, and the vehicle's receiver performs corresponding actions upon receiving them. High-voltage power towers and radio base station facilities can interfere with radio waves, causing the car key to have power but no response; 2. Remote key circuit board failure: When the remote key circuit board fails, it can no longer be rematched, and only a new key can be replaced; 3. Insufficient battery power: As the battery power decreases, the range and strength of the radio waves will also decrease. When fully charged, remote operation can be performed from 100 meters away, but when only half the power remains, the operational distance may be reduced by half, to only 50 meters.

Do All Four Tires Need to Be Replaced at the Same Time?

Car tires do not need to be replaced all four at once. However, if conditions permit, it is recommended to replace all four tires simultaneously to maintain the original handling balance. More detailed information is as follows: 1. It is recommended to rotate the tires every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. If only two tires are being replaced, it is advised to install the new tires on the rear wheels. If only one tire is being replaced, the new tire must have a tread groove depth similar to the other tire on the same axle; otherwise, it may cause issues such as vehicle deviation. 2. New tires should be installed on the rear axle of the vehicle. This is because placing more worn tires on the rear axle can significantly increase the risk of oversteering in rainy conditions due to reduced water drainage capability, potentially leading to dangerous situations like vehicle fishtailing.

What does the AC in a car's air conditioning mean?

AC in a car's air conditioning system refers to the air conditioning cooling switch, which is the power switch for the air conditioning compressor. Here is more information about automatic air conditioning: 1. The automatic air conditioning system will automatically adjust the interior temperature based on the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. 2. When using the air conditioning for heating in winter, the A/C light being on does not help with heating; instead, it causes unnecessary power loss due to the compressor's operation. Additional information: When the AC button is pressed, the car's air conditioning compressor will start working, and the air blown out by the blower will be cold. When the AC is turned off, the electromagnetic clutch of the air conditioning compressor will disengage, stopping the compressor's operation, and the car's air conditioning will exit the cooling mode.
